European Shares Subdued On Weak Data BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT/PARIS (dpa-AFX) - European stocks were subdued on Friday, with signs of rising inflation in China as well as weak industrial production data from Germany and France, the euro area's two largest economies, denting sentiment. The downside remained capped after the U.S. Federal Reserve repeated its pledge that monetary policy will likely remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. The pan European Stoxx 600 was marginally lower at 436.45 after rising 0.6 percent in the previous session. The German DAX slid 0.1 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 dropped 0.3 percent, while France's CAC 40 index edged up 0.1 percent.
